This is the 'cover page' for an expanding web site devoted to presentation
of the military history of Russia to include wars, battles, commanders, and
rulers. It features extensive illustrations. Many of the articles on battles
and wars are at "battles". You may
visit our patron. And also to the
museum devoted to the career of Suvorov.
The contents initially will be divided into sections on military museums,
battles, rulers, and great leaders. We have an
extensive web site with several hundred photos of exhibits in the great
Museum of Artillery, Engineers
and Signal troops in St Petersburg.
We have just added a long manuscript on the
Army of Ivan IVand another on the Muscovite
army of the 16th century. The former includes a detailed chronology of
Ivan's campaigns and a description of the siege of Kazan. The first battle is the
article from 11th edition of Encyclopedia Britannica on the battle of Plevna
during the Russo-Turkish war. (see Plevna).
And we have the article on the Russo-Turkish war. We also have the
encyclopedia article on the
Russo-Japanese war. The 1812 campaign in Russia is at
Borodino. Other battles are
Bortenovo, Kulikovo, Kletsh, and we are starting on the
Great Northern War. Tables showing wars
between Russia and many opponents are at ruswar.
